Hi Alexander,

Thanks for collating this list.
I'll try to add as much as I know, in hopes that it helps.

- I am unsure how batta is set up, but till late last week, none of my
instances had set REMOVEIPC correctly. I am sorry, I didn't know about this
until Thomas pointed it out to me in another thread. So if that's a key
reason here, then probably by this time next week things should settle
down. I've begun setting it correctly (2 done with a few more to go) -
although given that some machines are at work, I'll try to get to them this
coming week.

+1. It is interesting though as to why master is affected more often. This
may be statistical - since master ends up with more commits and thus more
tests? Unsure.

Also:
- I recently (~2 days back) switched parula to gcc-experimental nightly -
after which I see 4 of the recent errors - although the recent most test is
green.
- The only info about leafhopper may be relevant is that it's one of the
newest machines (Graviton4) so it comes with a recent hardware / kernel /
stock gcc 11.4.1.

Unfortunately I'm unable to reproduce such failures locally, so I'm sorry

Since the instances are created with work accounts, it isn't trivial to
share access but I could revert with any outputs / capture if it can help
here.

Lastly, alligator has been on gcc nightly for a few months, and is on
x86_64 - so by this time next week if alligator is still stuttering, pretty
sure there's more than just aarch64 or gcc or IPC config to blame here.
